About this map

The East Nishnabotna River winds through the southeastern corner of this Iowa landscape, defining the boundary between Lincoln and Washington townships and into Wright. This 1971 survey captures the rural character of the Pottawattamie and Cass County line during a period of established agricultural use. Waterways like Walnut Creek, Little Walnut Creek, and Indian Creek branch across the terrain, shaping the local topography and land divisions.

Genealogists will find historical value in the location of Whipple Cem and Smith Cem, which anchor the rural sections. Nearby, Camp Wakonda and Griswold Park provide a glimpse into the community's recreational spaces during the early 1970s. Industrial activity is represented by a Gravel Pit near the river, while a Radio Tower in the southwestern quadrant marks the modernization of local infrastructure.
